(train whistle blowing) >> jon: welcome back to the show. listen. as you may recall, a couple months ago america was hit by two major disasters. one of them natural, hurricane sandy and one of them somewhat man made the republican majority in the house of representatives. the second of those disasters has made it impossible to clean up the first one >> the $60 billion hurricane sandy aid package. the house adj

he's telling us he will not. >> and mark, what does john boehner face coming out of this? obama care is not part of this, other than the verification. the debt ceiling is extended. the spending continuing resolution is extended to january 15th. what have they won after putting the country through this misery? >> andrea, the second guessing about republicans' strategy and tactics throughout the last several weeks are going to be extraordinary. there's going to be a lot of questioning about how to go forward. it's going to be interesting. i think speaker boehner has handled this in a way where he can put this on the floor, get a lot of democratic votes. my hunch is if there are a lot of republican votes in the senate, which we expect, he could get a lot of republican votes in the house. questions about his speakership, questions about his own leadership, i think, may be put off. i think this agreement is not bad in the sense that it gives both sides a chance to try to deal with some of these bigger entitlement issues and tax issues over the next few weeks and averts the cris

he wrote, john boehner, eric cantor, mitch mcconnell, and john cornyn will ensure that obama care is fully funded. in doing so, they will sow the seeds of a real third party movement that will fully divide the republican party. a third party? i mean, i'm hearing what you're saying these guys were elected for. i'm seeing what the leadership is being forced to do. is it really possible that a third party could happen? >> i don't think in the current structure that's a good claim. and i know eric and he's a good guy, i just think he's missed the mark here. even if they were to form a third party, what are they popular? 25% that poll came out today. that doesn't win you an election. it doesn't move a people onto your side. these guys came over here and have done everything they were going to do. so you can't blame them for that. where i blame leadership from the top. if you have strong enough leaders on the top bringing these guys in saying, look, this is the way to get it done from a strategic standpoint and how to get some victories and some successes in the future. instead it's become

it's the same dynamic that we've seen time and time again where john boehner cannot keep his troops in line. he cannot depend on democrats. and he can only go to democrats so many times. i'm not optimistic at all. >> when you talk about not putting political capital on the line. people who don't cover the white house may not understand they're not even talking through back channels. they're just waiting to see what emerges. >> they are you talking through back channels, and they're going for the minimum. libby said it wasn't a grand bargain. it's not even a baby grand bargain. they're keeping the music playing. that's the goal of keeping congress and government hope. it's an up right piano in a dance hall let alone a baby grand bargain on spending. >> libby, you're talking about partial appeal the on the sequester. i'm not sure how you do that since it was a haircut off the top, the same percentage in all the departments spread the pain. how do you do a partial roll back of it? >> they may be able to give departments more control over how they allocate their budget, but there has been

i like john boehner. i happen to think that he is a good american and wants the government to really do what we're supposed to be doing. is that we're helping people where people can't be helped any further by their own initiatives. i personally believe he is in for a sad awakening next year. and i would like him to stand up and say let's have a clean vote on the budget. that is what we need right now. let's get on with the other issues of the debt and the other issues of where this country is going in terms of its investments. if you look at the last four months in terms of economic growth. if you look at the housing prices and where mortgages are going and where -- now we have a decline, thank god, in foreclosures. we're going in the right direction. but these republicans don't want this president to succeed. and that is where it is at. people are not dumb. they can understand this. i support the health care act, i think it is going to work. they don't want it to be successful. why not? should they have
